Anybody use one??? I had $30 off in scorecard rewards from DICKS and they were on sale for $99 so I got it fairly cheap. Haven't had a chance to put it in the woods yet. If it sucks I'll take it back and get a different one...if anybody can post pics of info I'd be appreciative..thanks DP

I used one up in Maine this fall just to try it out because Wal-mart had them really cheap.It took very good pictures looking at them on my camera.It picked up everything that moved.Read your instructions because I lost all my pictures on my card before I got them developed and still do not have any idea what deleted them.I do not know if it was the Remington or my camera that did it,but it picked up bear, coons, fox and even a moose walking by

Thank you very much, I did read a few bad reviews..and I also read somewhere that they had a batch of cameras where the memory cards actually had a virus in them..maybe that's what happened to yours. I'm gonna go buy a new memory card to avoid that and see what happens!!

Gotta say I bought one..and I must be one of the lucky ones..I've gotten thousand of pictures on this thing and they are all pretty good. Wish the flash reached out a little farther but other than that it's not bad. I've read a lot of NEGATIVE reviews and personally the only things I don't like about it are the flash and how it attaches to the tree...you need to bring a screwdriver or drill in the woods with you, neither of those things are regularly in my backpack.

Been using it for Winter Bow Hunting.
Bucks come in after midnight.
How do I get these guys to come in before dark?

Try doing deer drives and setting up in a funnel area. Most mature bucks this time of the year are nocturnal especially if they were pressured earlier. Baiting is another option if it's legal in your area. Food supplies this time of the year can be scarce, but they still may only come at night. Try hunting before and after this front coming through on Saturday.

been using remington trail cam all season, takes tones of pictures hav not had any problems mounting it to a tree is somewhat of a pain but if someone wants to steal it they are going to have to break it.i had a stealth cam and it only lasted about 2 months before it stopped working and couldnt get pictures off of it.

Not a bad camera. I've had it take 700 pics on one set of batteries. One problem I've had is when it gets super cold. Had one stop working for a bit in Ohio when the temp was in the single digits to low teens. Warmed back up and worked fine again. Good camera for the money.
